A trio of Durfee Hilltoppers leads the way for The Herald News All-Scholatics girls’ basketball team. Westport was the only other school with multiple stars, finishing with two. Here’s a closer look at the stars:

BRYNN PASTERNAK (Diman): Pasternak did it all for the Bengals, who were one of only three girls’ teams in Greater Fall River to qualify for the state tournament. A Mayflower League all-star, Pasternak was just as effective shooting from the outside as she was driving to the hoop. She averaged 12 points per game.

ALLIE LAKE (Bishop Stang): The Spartans’ senior point guard was named the team’s Most Valuable Player and was an Eastern Athletic Conference all-star. Lake led Bishop Stang in both steals and assists and was second on the team in the scoring department.

ALLYSON DICESARE (Case): The Cardinals’ Most Valuable Player, DiCesare averaged a double-double for the season, scoring 10 points and grabbing 10 rebounds per game. She also led the team in assists, blocks and steals. She scored 23 points and pulled down 17 rebounds in a game against Dighton-Rehoboth this season.

BRIANNA CAMARA (Durfee): Camara averaged 21 points per game and twice reached 35 this season for the Hilltoppers. “Bri was the game plan for every team we played against and she was still able to lead her team in almost every statistic,” said Durfee coach Brendan Kelly. A Big 3 all-star, Camara will enter next season needing just points to become a member of the 1,000-point club.

PAULINA FEITELBERG (Durfee): Feitelberg was instant offense with her 3-point shooting, knocking down 45 of them for the season. She finished with 94 in her three-year career. “While shooting was her best quality, it was her improvement on the defensive end that allowed her to play almost the entire game,” said Durfee coach Brendan Kelly.

J’LYNN JACKSON (Durfee): The ultra-quick point guard was the quarterback of the potent Hilltopper offense. A great ball handler and distributor, Jackson averaged better than nine points per game, but was capable of putting up big numbers as she netted 23 points twice this season.

JESSICA FOURNIER (Bishop Connolly): The Cougars’ best all-around player, Fournier helped Bishop Connolly collect a couple of wins this season after a winless campaign a year ago. The versatile Fournier was forced to play several positions and be the leader of a young Cougar squad.

SAM MEDEIROS (Westport): A junior, Medeiros averaged a double-double this year, scoring 12.8 points per game and 12.0 rebounds per game. A league all-star, Medeiros led the team in both scoring and rebounding and helped send the Cats into the state tournament, where they lost to undefeated West Bridgewater in the sectional quarterfinals.

Page 2 of 2 - BRITTANY ARRUDA (Westport): Arruda, a junior, was Westport’s major outside threat, knocking down 34 3-pointers on the season, including eight in one game. Arruda averaged 10.9 points per game and help guide her team to the South Sectional quarterfinals.
